Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Monica was waiting for Chandler in her apartment, but by the time Chandler arrived, a number of the other friends were there as well. Which friend was not present when Chandler turned up?

Answer: Phoebe

Rachel was the first to arrive, and found Monica naked in her bedroom. Ross and Joey soon came home after they had been kicked out of a movie because Ross was talking too loudly on his phone.
2. Why does Phoebe hate PBS?

Answer: "Sesame Street" never wrote her back

Phoebe says she wrote to "Sesame Street" after her mother died, because watching "Sesame Street" as a child always made her happy. Phoebe says that instead of writing her in return, "All I got was a lousy keychain. By then I was living in a box - I didn't have keys!"
3. Joey thinks he is going to co-host the PBS telethon. Who is actually the host?

Answer: Gary Collins

Gary Collins plays himself in this episode. Joey is not a co-host, he is really a volunteer phone operator who accepts pledges.
4. Where does everyone think Monica's "secret boyfriend" is from?

Answer: Her work

Monica lets everyone think this because when Rachel walked in on her in the opening scene, Rachel's first guess was that Monica was seeing a guy from work. Monica decided it was easier to agree than to make up another lie.
5. Ross has to decide between Rachel and Emily. What product does he use to try and help him make a decision?

Answer: Magic 8 Ball

He brings a Magic 8 Ball into Monica's apartment while they are watching the telethon. "Magic 8 Ball, should I never see Rachel again?... Ask again later. Later is not good enough!" he cries, then shakes the ball again to reveal another answer. "Ask again later".
6. What does Phoebe try to prove to Joey?

Answer: There can be selfless good deeds

Joey says that any good deed has a hint of selfishness in it - that a person will only do a good deed in order to be praised for it. Phoebe says she has to prove him wrong because she has just given birth to Frank's triplets and they "can't grow up in a world where Joey is right!"
7. How much money does Phoebe donate to PBS?

Answer: $200

She does this to try to prove that it is a selfless good deed. She knows the money will help PBS, but since she doesn't like PBS the deed is not selfish on her behalf. She says she was saving up the $200 "to buy a hamster". The selfless good deed backfires because Phoebe's pledge tipped the total pledges over the previous year's total and helped Joey get some on-air time at the telethon.
8. Chandler asks Monica if her secret boyfriend is better in bed than which man?

Answer: Richard

Monica says that her secret boyfriend is better than Richard, but then she has an argument with Chandler because he is flaunting it in front of her and the other friends. At one stage he jumps onto the table and dances badly, which she later mimics in his apartment.
9. Rachel and Ross had planned to see which movie?

Answer: "How Stella Got Her Groove Back"

Ross is waiting for a call from Emily when Rachel turns up at his apartment, saying they are late for "Stella". Ross is confused, as they don't know anyone named Stella, so Rachel explains that Stella's "getting her groove back in, like, twenty minutes." They skip the movie because Emily calls, and on advice from Rachel, Ross tells Emily he is willing to sacrifice being friends with Rachel in order to get Emily to move to New York.
10. Monica and Chandler make up, and are seen sneaking out of a closet. Where is this closet located?

Answer: Central Perk

Sneaky music is played in the background as we see Chandler leaving the closet and sitting on the lounge at Central Perk. Monica then exits the closet and joins him on the lounge and says, "Well I've never done that before!"
